In our modern, busy lives it’s all too easy to forget to take care of your most vital asset – your health. Fortunately, regular health assessments can offer you peace of mind, leaving you free to get on with taking care of everybody else.
A BUPA health assessment gives you the opportunity to review your physical condition and lifestyle, to ensure your continued health and wellbeing.
Through an extensive questionnaire, a wide range of tests and a lengthy consultation with a doctor we are able to provide you with advice tailored to your needs.
The BUPA Health Assessment Centre is just one of the many specialist treatment facilities available at Spire Wellesley Hospital. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have regarding your general health and wellness and receive expert advice and diagnosis from our healthcare professionals.
What Health Assessments are available to me?
BUPA Complete Health
This screen will provide you with an in-depth profile of your health and wellbeing and includes a 45-minute consultation with a BUPA doctor. Our most popular assessment has been enhanced to include our new tests such as our ‘Lung age’ test where we can estimate a persons ‘lung age’ as well as a metabolic rate test and a diabetes risk score. Based on the information we gather through an extensive questionnaire, a wide range of blood and physiological tests and a lengthy consultation with a doctor, we will give you a full picture of your health and tailored advice.
The physiological tests include assessing your heart, lungs, abdomen and central nervous system. We’ll look at your blood pressure, cholesterol blood tests and your heart trace (ECG) and assess your risk of heart disease. We carry out detailed blood analysis to test for conditions such as diabetes, gout, anaemia and liver and kidney problems. Your hearing and vision will be checked, and we provide a detailed body composition profile, including your body fat percentage. We’ll also talk you through your diet and lifestyle.
For men, we'll provide a testicular examination, for women, a cervical smear and breast examination.
We'll inform you about your potential health risks and instruct you on how to perform self-examinations and be 'body aware'.
